Wow, interesting. This is quite parallel to my younger sister. Tried  
conceiving for 5 years, IVF worked the first time, very hard pregnancy with meds  
and bed rest, extremely long, traumatic labor, but delivered vaginally, my  
nephew had a high palate and posterior tongue tie, released ( the bloodiest 
one  I've ever seen by far), went on to breastfeed maybe three times per 
day since my  sister still had a lot of pain (I really wanted him to have CST 
but it didn't  happen) with every feed, and she pumped for a year, even 
though e self-weaned at  around 9 months, and she was surprised and devastated 
for a while. He is now 3,  has had speech and has OT and a Social Worker to 
help manage his behavioral  issues. Smart, beautiful boy, but one of the most 
challenging kids I've ever  seen. How much is late-age conception, how much 
drugs, traumatic labor, how much  her DNA/neurology, who knows ( she was a 
sweet little handful herself at  times...:)
 
Have their been compilations of this kind of data at all? I am seeing more  
and more babies with beginning of life histories like this, and some moms 
do  have supply issues as well, some babies never breastfeed others perhaps  
partially at breast.
